Minute Meditations

Francis was as much subject to self-doubt as any of us. His motives were purified in prayer; his ego became right-sized there.

It is our mother who will never forget. It is our mother who will always find her child.

Those of us who are childless, divorced, or unmarried are, like everybody else, imperfect children of a perfect God.

As Christians, the beauty of the beatitudes is that they remind us that this world is not our home.

It is true that St. Francis, with his whole heart, wanted to imitate his Lord and Master.

It is our Christian belief that when Christ, the Incarnate Word, came to dwell among us, we entered a whole new era of God’s saving presence in our world.
